- Summary
- Recounting the tumultuous recent history of the Balkan region, this interdisciplinary study follows a bloody trail of guerrilla warfare from the post World War I era through World War II, the civil wars, and the communist rise to power in Albania, Greece and Yugoslavia. The central figures examined include Hitler, Joseph Broz-Tito, Enver Hoxha, and Aris Velouchiotis (AKA Thanasis Klaras). The author's evocation of the lives of individual Balkan citizens in the face of international politics fleshes out the historical sweep of this book's primary documents.
